Haven't really dived into that yet though... Web based features are a secondary concern for me at the moment.

I did notice the thing on the boards about it not working,... the flash-player being over-written... But I will also note that the downloaded Huludesktop app (from Hulu Labs) is not working in a straight Kubuntu 10.04 install either. There is apparently something wrong with the most recent update to the flash player versus the Huludesktop app. I saw something about people having success by retrograding their flashplayer install back down a few versions.

Hulu is working now (however the newer firefox and flashplugin were to improve video playback)

I tried re-installing just the latest flashplugin, but hulu quit working again. It is strange because on my linux desktop (Kubuntu 12) I am running the latest firefox and flashplugin and hulu works fine there.

Assuming they leave a link available, the package flashplayer-installer just sets up a weird wget like download from adobe. Should be kosher to hold. The problem would only occur if they dumped the availability.

What needs to happen, is hulu needs to update their desktop... but the feeling seems to be that they gave too much freedom in hulu desktop, esp to linux. I dunno if that is going to happen.

Does anyone know what the changes in the flash plugin entailed? I seem to recall something about not permitting someone to copy the temp files in order to save the video stream permanently. If that was the change, it's a safe bet that it'll be hard to find the old, working version of flash,... if not right now,... then soon.

I tried running flash-aid on my MD, however it didnt seem to fix the issue either.

And I did read somewhere that in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg, there is a entry for the newer flashplugin "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1" that is default, and should be changed to =0... however that didnt make any difference either.

Im using the older flashplugin-installer mentioned in prior post, as well as an earlier firefox to get huludesktop to work for now.

oops.. sorry.. messed up on the pasting of the address. the 64 bit one is because my 'desktop' computer is 64 bit Kubuntu. There is an i386 version that would be run on my MD, however the 'flash-aid'' script wants to un-install flashplugin-installer (which would break many things)... ive been trying to run the script manually step by step excluding the removal of flashplugin-installer, and linking /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplayer to the new libflashplugin.so located in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.

here is the script generated by 'flash-aid' that would be run on my 32bit MD:
